Newsrooms are a social context in which numerous relationships exist and influence news work—be it with other journalists, the audience, and technology. As some of these relations change due to technological innovations, new hybrid contexts—technologies that are interwoven with newsroom values, routines, and socio-cultural experiences—can emerge. One key question is how journalists conceptualise and interact with such technologies, and to what degree they retain (creative) agency in the process. Therefore, this study evaluates the intersection of automated journalism and journalistic role conceptions. Using Hanitzsch’s and Vos’s circular model of journalistic roles (2017) and Deuze’s understanding of journalism as an ideology (2005) as a theoretical framework, this study examines some of the discursive aspects of automated journalism by asking: To what extent are journalistic roles (a) challenged or (b) advanced as a result of automated journalism? Our findings more closely align with the latter, pointing to a strong sense of discursive maintenance of journalists’ roles and their core skillset and thus suggesting a high degree of ideological continuity in the face of industrial disruption. It concludes with an agenda for future research and stresses that at times when journalism and automation intersect, the field would benefit from incorporating emerging conceptual frameworks such as human–machine communication.

协助还是抵抗？评估自动化新闻与新闻角色概念的交集

新闻编辑室是一种社会环境，在其中存在着许多关系并影响着新闻工作，无论是与其他记者，听众和技术。随着其中一些关系由于技术创新而改变，新的混合环境（与新闻编辑室价值观，惯例和社会文化体验交织在一起的技术）应运而生。一个关键问题是记者如何将这些技术概念化并与之互动，以及他们在此过程中保留（创造）代理的程度。因此，本研究评估了自动化新闻和新闻工作者角色概念的交集。使用Hanitzsch和Vos的新闻角色循环模型（2017）和Deuze对新闻作为一种意识形态的理解（2005）作为理论框架，本研究通过询问以下方面来探讨自动化新闻的某些话语方面：（a）自动新闻使新闻工作者的角色（a）受到挑战或（b）发挥到何种程度？我们的发现与后者更为吻合，表明他们对新闻记者的角色及其核心技能具有强烈的话语维护感，因此，在面对产业中断的情况下，他们在思想上具有高度的连续性。它以未来研究的议程作为结束，并强调指出，有时新闻和自动化相交时，该领域将从合并新兴的概念框架（例如人机通信）中受益。指出了对新闻记者角色及其核心技能的话语维护的强烈意识，因此表明在面对产业中断时，意识形态具有高度的连续性。它以未来研究的议程作为结尾，并强调指出，有时新闻和自动化相交时，该领域将从合并新兴的概念框架（例如人机通信）中受益。指出了对新闻记者角色及其核心技能的话语维护的强烈意识，因此表明在面对产业中断时，意识形态具有高度的连续性。它以未来研究的议程作为结尾，并强调指出，有时新闻和自动化相交时，该领域将从合并新兴的概念框架（例如人机通信）中受益。
